Re: Labview Video Tutorial? Dashboard
Danny,

We got labview to work today. Turns out we had some issues with our serial port. I used my laptop which is a DELL D800 with a "Real" serial port and it worked the first try.

Matter of fact we used it today to tune our PID controls. Wow...it worked just like I pictured it would work. We have three "POTS" connected to analog 14,15,16. 14 = P term, 15 = I term and 16 = D term. We can tune our PID system on the fly, and now with Labview as feed back with a graph....it only took about 5 minutes to tune our PID control. Amazing tool.....amazing...what a time saver.
